I've been able to achieve this with git's conditional includes. Here's what a config may look like:

# ~/.config/git/config

[include]
    path = base-config.inc
[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:*:jc00ke/**"]
    path = personal-config.inc
[includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:*:WORK/**"]
    path = work-config.inc

# ~/.config/git/personal-config.inc
[user]
    name = Jesse Cooke
    email = jesse@example.com
    signingkey = ~/.ssh/personal.pubkey

# ~/.config/git/work-config.inc
[user]
    name = Jesse Cooke
    email = jesse@work.example.com
    signingkey = ~/.ssh/work.pubkey

Here's my real dotfiles; this has worked for me for a while now.
